Adam Gase had a busy week last week, and it wasn’t just because he was helping the Denver Broncos get ready for the playoffs.

Gase, 36, is a 1996 graduate of Marshall High School and the current offensive coordinator for the Broncos, who will play in the NFL playoffs this weekend. Gase is also one of the hottest head coaching candidates in the NFL.

As one of the top two seeds in the AFC in the playoffs, the Broncos had a bye last week for the NFL playoffs. During that time, Gase reportedly interviewed with four NFL teams for their head coaching position.

According to reports from Denver media, four teams asked to speak to Gase during the bye week. Gase reportedly had interviews with the San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons, Chicago Bears and Buffalo Bills over the previous weekend.

There are currently six head coaching jobs open, adding the New York Jets and the Oakland Raiders.

With the Broncos back to preparing for the second round of the playoffs and the Indianapolis Colts, it is thought that no further movement will be made in the coaching search with Gase until Denver is knocked out of the playoffs or after the Super Bowl.

Gase has been the offensive coordinator for the Broncos the last two seasons and with quarterback Peyton Manning leading the way, Denver has had one of the better offenses in the league in each season. This year, Denver was second in the league in points per game at 30.1 and in the top five in overall yards and passing yards. In 2013, with Gase calling the plays the Broncos have averaged 37.9 points per game and became the first team to score more than 600 points in an NFL season. He also helped Manning break NFL records for passing yards and touchdowns in a season.

Gase was a head coach prospect last season as well, but reportedly turned down a request to interview with the Cleveland Browns.

The road to a possible head coaching spot started after an average playing career at Marshall in high school. From Marshall, Gase went to Michigan State University, before following then-head coach Nick Saban to Louisiana State University to become an assistant at that school in 2000. He first started coaching in the NFL as a scouting assistant for the Detroit Lions and was a quarterbacks coach in Detroit in 2007.
